The appetizers were excellent, and the vegetarian dishes were absolutely delicious. If you're looking for flavorful vegetarian Indian cuisine, this is a great place to visit. And, of course, no Indian meal is complete without an Indian beer. It paired perfectly with the food and made for a great dining experience. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because I think the dipping sauces served with the appetizers could use an upgrade. The appetizers themselves were excellent, but a more flavorful or sauce would really elevate them. Overall, the food was fresh, the service was friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I would absolutely recommend giving this restaurant a try.

It is indeed tucked away and a bit difficult to find-- you have to go to what looks like the back of the strip mall, behind some (currently) vacant space to get to it. I'm surprised to read all these reviews saying the food is spicy... that wasn't my experience at all. I thought the food was sadly a little bland, and it was also a bit cold. I did arrive toward the end of the lunch buffet service, so perhaps toward the beginning it might be a bit hotter and fresher. Everyone there was super friendly, and there were clearly some regulars chatting with the staff, which was a super sweet vibe. I don't know that I'd be back if I were passing through town again, but just from the warmth and welcoming atmosphere, I can see how this is a standby for locals!

My absolute favorite dish was the palak paneer because it was rich, flavorful, and the spices blended so well with the paneer. The chicken tikka masala stood out as creamy, comforting, and well seasoned. The chicken biryani was decent, though not their strongest dish. The lamb vindaloo was ordered at the Indian spice level, their highest, and it was definitely on the spicier side but still enjoyable. The garlic naan was excellent and complemented the curries perfectly. Service was a bit inconsistent since our server disappeared for a while, but the food was brought out quickly once ordered.

The decor and furnishings are elegant and so warm and welcoming! We were seated immediately. KJ arrived at our table soon after we were seated and upon meeting him we knew we were in the best of hands. He guided us on a culinary adventure we have never experienced in this area! His knowledge and expertise are insurmountable. EVERY suggestion he made for our meal was absolute perfection. I seriously felt I was in London vs Winchester VA! Our Vegetarian Pakora Starters were delicious! The Main Event was exactly as promised! My Husband chose the Chicken Chili, a savory, aromatic celebration! I chose the Chicken Korma, an amazing blend of spices and tender cuts of chicken with a smooth Cashew Base. My Daughter in Law chose the Chicken 65 and it was another explosion of favor with just the right amount of heat. I will definitely have that on a future visit! Lastly my son chose the Lamb Karahi Masala. Melt in your mouth Lamb in the most amazing combination of spices. We couldn't stop tasting each other's meals and basically had our own mini Family Style buffet! Our Family Dessert Platter was a combo plate of Tutti Fruiti Ice Cream, Honey Balls and other specialties of the House. The perfect end to a beyond perfect dinner experience. You will LOVE this restaurant!

I ordered a channa bhatura, and the chickpeas were a sweeter mix of spices than normal, but it worked. The breads were delightfully fluffy and it was a large portion.

A chai was a good compliment . They had a buffet setup, but being able to order off the large menu was a great opportunity. Every gas station Indian restaurant I've ever been to has been good.

Online orders can be made via Toast at https://order.toasttab.com/online/avanni-llc-11-town-center-drive We started off with the chicken pakoras. They were a larger portion compared to pakoras in most other restaurants. The chicken comes from local favorite Long Stone Farm. This dish was super tasty and perfectly fried. The mint chutney was great. For mains we had the Mom's Saag Lamb which was amazing. Great chunks of lamb in a tasty curry of spinach, ginger, garlic and onions. Finally the chicken korma which also was super flavorful. The side of rice was cooked perfectly. Bottom line this is high quality Indian food at a reasonable price + great service.

One word of caution, if you don't like spicy food, beware. I enjoy spice to a degree and was fine with the spice levels of what I ate.

Our greeter/server was attentive and kind. The dining room is open and spacious with plenty of seating. Definitely check this place out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Notably, you're only about an hour a way from an Indian restaurant bonanza in some of the suburbs closer to DC, and this place would be pretty ordinary in those surroundings. However, around here, it is one of few options. Notably it does have vegan-marked offerings. This should not be construed to suggest that they offer health food. I searched for something that wasn't fried but was told that they were out of steamed dumplings (some degree of pre-preparation must be done there). I ended up with a chole bhature, which came with two small puffed breads that didn't impress, but had a great set of accoutrements. I got my dumplings fried in chili sauce. And I added a fresh mint and lime soda, which was excellent. So there is some quality here, for those wanting Indian food and not wanting to head towards DC or Winchester.
